THE VIRGINIA AND TENNES.
SEE BOUNDARY.


Since the matter Of re. locating the
limo between the States of yirginis
and Tennessee is again being agitated
tho following from the Lynchburg
PIginidn will be CT interest:
"The old border dispute between
Virginia and Tennessee is, it seems,
to be revived and movement made
to have the boundary between the
TWO States finally and irrevocably
settled by competent commissioners
Tho conduct of tho oaso on the part
of Virginia has bean entrusted to
Senator Rhea, of Washington county,
who will be assisted by Attorney
General Ayers, in bringing tho mat
ter to conclusive adjudication.
This disputed territory embraces n
longitudinal area two miles in width
and two hundred miles in length, OK.
tending from the neighborhood of
White Top Mountain, where Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee cor.
ner, to tho boundary OF Virginia and
Kentucky. This area undoubtedly
belongs TO Virginia according 10 the
original scheme Of partition, and she
has every reason to pueh the contest
for its possession to decisive issue.
Tho boundary between Virginia and
North Carolina is OH the line of 36e
30/ north latitude, aud it was clearl,
intended that the same line should
DO prolonged westward to mark the
boundary between Virginia and Ton
nessee; but owing to the Interrupt
tions and delays in completing the
survey, to imperfect Instruments and,
doubtless, to the ignorance of tho
surveyors, deviation WAS made
which resulted in leaving n strip of
what was properly Virginia territory,
but which WAS never LOCALLY nppor
toned to either State, within the
bounds of Tennessee.
The fact that tho disputed ground
has boen in the Jurisdiction of tho
latter State since it was separated
from North Carolina in 1903, should
not operate as n bar to Virginia's
rightfnl claim to an equitable parti.
ton of the unapportioncd land. Ten.
nessee may plead occupancy, but it
is plea without any just foundation
in fact. The compromise line of 1909,
which divided tho debatable strip
equally between the two States, ia the
line for which Virginia now contends,
if we are correctly informed, and
Which, if she gains her case, will add
400 square miles of territory, includ-
ing the thriving town of Bristol. to
her geographical aren. Fonr hun.
dred square miles in the rich mineral
region, crossed by the border, is M
addition not to be despised by Is
State in Virginias circumstances, and
we trust that every legal recourse
will be exhausted before the effort to
make good her title to it shall be
abandoned. If Tennessee were dis.
posed to do the square" thing, she
would agroe to the compromise line
OF 1903. and cede the territory to us
off hand"

a large amount of ammunition was exploded,
happily without accident. The affair was car
ried out with much success and afforded much

given in the Methodist church at i:30 in the
afternoon, and another at 7:30, and at the latter
